The Other Side of the Story
"Her death left me torn. At first, I felt a sense of relief - perhaps Takopii would finally find peace.
But when I paused and truly reflected, I saw a child crushed under the immense pressure of her mother.
We often sympathize with one side, forgetting the pain of the other.
I focused on Takopii's suffering, while overlooking Marina's fear and silent agony under her mother's control.
Ask yourself this: as a viewer, would your conscience be at ease if you witnessed Marina's death in real life - knowing the full story ahead of time?
This anime deeply challenged my emotions. It reminded me that adults carry a profound responsibility: our actions and words shape the fragile minds of children.
The unsupportive environment and harmful parenting methods shown in this story aren't just background elements - they are destructive forces that shatter a child's spirit.
Thank you for creating something that speaks not only to the heart... but also to the conscience."
